There has been a great deal of speculation about FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page leaking to media in their efforts to shape stories conducive to their pro-Clinton/anti-Trump efforts. Prior reporting showed the strong possibility Page and Strzok were leaking to the Wall Street Journal.

“Wsj? Boy that was fast,” Strzok texted back, using the initials of the famed financial newspaper. “Should I ‘find’ it and tell the team?” (link)

Some new information today, and some additional research, and we can not only confirm the prior suspicions outlined by John Solomon (The Hill) – but we also discover the actual Wall Street Journal reporter they were leaking to.

[Peter Strzok is ‘INBOX’ and Lisa Page is “OUTBOX’]

It now appears the “Devlin” in question is former Wall Street Journal National Security reporter Devlin Barrett, currently with The Washington Post.

Here’s why? On October 28th, 2016 (as above), at the exact time the re-opening of the Clinton investigation hit the media news-cycle, Page and Strzok were texting. From the released messaging we see at 5:19pm Lisa Page is on the phone with “Devlin”:

♦Page: 5:19pm “Still on the phone with Devlin. Mike’s phone is ON FIRE.”

“Scoop: McAuliffe PAC gave $467,500 to campaign of wife of senior FBI official who oversaw Clinton email probe” (link)

This October 23rd, 2016, “scoop” aligns with the internal text messaging discussion between Agent Peter Strzok and FBI Attorney Lisa Page who were discussing James Comey’s chief-of-staff James Rybicki recommending that FBI Asst. Director Andrew “Andy” McCabe should be recused from the Hillary Clinton investigation.

From the messaging the recusal was discussed mid-through-late October 2016:

00:52am …”if it’s a matter similar to those we’ve been talking about lately”…

It looks like the sourcing for the exclusive report by Devlin Barrett, on the controversy of Andrew McCabe and his financial connections to Clinton/McAuliffe, was again Lisa Page and Peter Strzok; key people within the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

A third likely connection related to the relationship between Strzok, Page and Devlin Barrett comes after Barrett leaves the Wall Street Journal and begins working for The Washington Post.

Barrett’s use of Page and Strzok on this story is actually quite odd because the story is about Page and Strzok.

On December 15th, 2017, after the revelations behind the Mueller investigation having to remove Agent Strzok and Attorney Page as a result of the Inspector General outlining their extreme political bias, the couples text messages were immediately part of the story.

One of the Barrett Washington Post stories was about those messages between the couple communicating via phones “that can’t be traced”.

National security journalist Devlin Barrett wrote a story specifically using “sources” to explain the context of the Page/Strzok message about phones was to hide the affair:

By Devlin Barrett – Two senior FBI officials who texted each other about President Trump and Hillary Clinton relied on work phones to try to hide their romance from a spouse and made the bureau’s probe of Clinton’s private email server their cover story for being in such close contact, according to people familiar with the matter.

The two officials, senior FBI lawyer Lisa Page and senior counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, are the subjects of an internal investigation that has roiled the FBI and emboldened its Republican critics who have accused the bureau of political bias. Had Page and Strzok used personal phones instead, people close to case say, it’s unlikely their text messages would have come to the FBI’s attention.

The texts, a trove of which were released by the Justice Department this week, have raised questions about the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state and special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe of whether any Trump associates coordinated with Russian officials to interfere with the presidential election. Page and Strzok, who have declined to comment, were involved in both. (read more)

In this example there’s a really odd dynamic about using the subject of the article as a source of information on the subject of the article. “According to people familiar with the matter”, is likely to be Peter Strzok and Lisa Page themselves.

That’s perhaps the weirdest example of journalistic ethical juxtaposition in the past few months. Again, “sources say” now appears to be reporter Devlin Barrett writing an article based on direct information from Lisa Page and Peter Strzok who were the subjects of the story. Obviously they would have a vested legal interest in shaping/spinning that story in a very specific direction.

Knowing that DOJ/FBI Attorney Lisa Page and FBI Agent Peter Strzok were key sources for Barrett’s stories at the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post, you can go through all of his old articles at both publications and clearly identify stories were Strzok and Page were leaking to him.

Lastly, knowing Strzok and Page were key DOJ/FBI investigators on: #1) the Hillary Clinton investigation; #2) the Trump/Russia Counterintelligence Investigation; and, #3) the Robert Mueller investigation; and knowing they were leaking to the media to shape the outcomes of their own investigative narrative in each example; it makes you wonder who else within the DOJ and FBI team was also leaking to the media.

He was an agent. She was an attorney. Different jobs, chains of command, responsibilities, etc. Yet she seemed to know every single detail of his activities, every one of his thoughts, understood all the psychological dynamics between all of his associates, and was co-plotting every move he made. Her entire day to day behavior was grounded in what was going on in his world.

And notice, all their messages are about his job, meetings, associates, etc. and how they relate to the conspiracy. Her work issues, problems, contacts etc. are never discussed. You never even get the feeling that she has a life. It’s just all conspiracy, all the time.

Some of his earlier texts about her brilliant mind and unlimited career potential make him look like the most gullible and naive agent ever, and desperate for her flattery.

OTOH she might just be manipulative person moving her way up the corporate ladder. Pretty standard move in biz world. Attach yourself as a barnacle to a superior. Protege mentor blah blah. Shoulder to cry on. Maybe sleep on.
Or she may be a spook. Can’t wait to find out.

But do you see any inkling of a real sexual affair? Beginning to wonder whether the “affair” was a coverup, inventive narrative, to explain their collusion and also to “explain” the use of secret phones that (they thought) can’t be traced. Do lovers address each other as “dude,” for example? It is odd, however, that it seems they were in touch with each other constantly, round the clock. WHEN did they have time for actual work?

Sorry. Didn’t read all the comments on this thread yet. I see it’s being considered already. Further evidence may be that supposedly Mueller was more concerned with the bias in their texts than with the affair, when obviously two such sensitively assigned people are subject to blackmail if they’re having an affair. If it’s just a cover story, that might explain why he moved them for the appearance of bias and why (it’s said; don’t know if it’s true) that they still have clearances. They ought to be investigated on account of the affair, IF it’s true it happened. It’s not according to policy and it’s very dangerous for national security if true. Why aren’t they making DOJ explain the apparently light punishment?

Just saying….. we listened to NPR the other day just to check out the enemy, guess who was on? Devlin Barrett – talking away as tho he knew what the hell he was talking about!!
and they were hanging on to his every word.

It’s true…the lack of emojis says these two “lovers” may be more about taking care of business! Both have cover story names like Zero Hour Ohr…haven’t seen early photos of either by the way…Times for some investigative journalists to find out the story because it’s downright scary seeing how they are conspiring to take down a Presidential Candidate while protecting another!

I’m going to repost something I wrote earlier, in order to expand upon it. Because…SEX sells.

— “With the likelihood that Strzok & Page were never having an affair at all (but simply pushed that narrative with the help of their “leakees” in the media, in order to cover the real story), it makes POTUS Trump’s tweet all the more relevant.

Trump called them out as lovers. But he had to have known the truth. This guy is brilliant! He puts their own juicy little story out there, baiting everyone. Then, he sits back and waits for the far more sinister truth to out.

Don’t assume for one second that this FBI pair are stupid. They are simply so filled with hatred and hubris, that they got in over their heads. Nothing good comes of consorting with the media. This will be their downfall.” —

It never made sense from the beginning that these two were having an affair. But they and their enemedia cohorts wanted it out there, because sex sells. They were hoping the masses would be sidetracked with yet another “it was just sex” story.

So POTUS Trump obliged. He tweeted. Bigly. He also is well aware that sex sells. He called them lovers – but there wasn’t a smidgen of romance anywhere in their original texts. Nada. No evidence anywhere else either, for that matter.

Now that the remainder of the mysterious texts have been “recovered,” it is impossible to ignore the tawdry and salacious nature of the Strzok/Page relationship. One must read these, wondering where the dirty stuff is (heh). Some are digging for proof, others are just curious. The point is, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING.

POTUS had to have known this was a farce, and used their disinformation against them. Furthermore, it explains why Wikipedia failed to so much as mention an affair on Strzok’s page even though it had been widely reported. In fact, they went to great lengths to defend the “professionalism” of colleagues Strzok & Page. Methinks Wiki doth protest too much. They knew, too.

The only sex going on here is between the media and the alphabet agencies.

das411 elaborated on the emoticon issue below. I’m sure someone will be deciphering those. Not me – I work 40+ hrs/wk (away from home) and can barely keep up with this site and its overflowing posts now.

Heh, I have the day off and was hoping to do just that – along with a gazillion less pleasant responsibilities which have piled up – and then life happened. Now, I’m dealing with neighbor problems and an incompetent city gov’t. I might just uncork a bottle and say “screw it.”

The other stuff will still be there, waiting. But I don’t want to miss all the CTCH action today. Besides, a poor working schlub ought to be able to have a little enjoyment on a day off!

My two border collies very conscientiously clean all the solid waste from the litter box. They leave behind the clumped pee. Kind of how the Dems and their lackeys operate: incriminated by the remains after disappearing the big stuff.

Cleaning kitty litter. Labor of love for the species aware it owns you. Cats run a dirty little conspiracy to force humans to be their slaves. Dogs obediently clean up the dirty work for the true masters. Their needs to be a special council of the ASPCA shelters. It’s a cat plot. 🙂

DEVLIN BARRETT: The Justice Department has long-standing rules as to how its officials are not supposed to speak publicly about cases, and not supposed to do anything in terms of investigative activity just before an election that might be seen as trying to influence the outcome.

(This after he had been actively helping some of them break those rules—and no doubt still was.)

Regarding who are black hats and who are white hats in this drama, Katica (GOPPoll analyst) points out that on April 13 2016 (day after Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS using DNC money) Robert Mueller met at the White House with Aaron Zebley and Stephanie Osborn, Obama’s Executive Director of the Intelligence Advisory Board. https://twitter.com/GOPPollAnalyst/status/956926058393161728

The Congress doesn’t want to see punishment on leaking because elected officials and their staff members leak too. Schiff is an example.

The press and the government have been co-mingling. We know or have known about it. It is a problem for National Security and someone needs to clean it up with laws. McCabe should never have happened. People should be excluded from government service if family members are big shots in the media like Ben Rhodes. It should be considered an opportunity to leak. Because that is what it is…..please, no more warm,fuzzy bedtime stories of “integrity” in our government. Integrity is just another ‘subjective’ term in Washington DC. This is what President Trump is dealing with because these people still have relationships with the Obama holdovers.

It is interesting, in light of this proof of their active leaking, to align these texts with what was reported about Strzok’s team’s review of the Anthony Weiner laptop. From the NYTimes April 22, 2017 mega-piece, Comey Tried to Shield the FBI from Politics Then He Shaped an Election, this excerpt describes the importance the investigators reportedly placed on the early Blackberry communications, where the discussion of the purpose for setting up the home server might reveal intent.

“One nagging issue was that Mrs. Clinton had deleted an unknown number of emails from her early months at the State Department — before she installed the home server. Agents believed that those emails, sent from a BlackBerry account, might be their best hope of assessing Mrs. Clinton’s intentions when she moved to the server. If only they could find them.”

And then this excerpt (seeming to come from Strzok or someone looking over his shoulder) describes the evening of the review :

“On Nov. 5, three days before Election Day, Mr. Strzok and his team had 3,000 emails left to review. That night, they ordered pizza and dug in. At about 2 a.m., Mr. Strzok wrote an email to Mr. Comey and scheduled it to send at 6 a.m. They were finished.
“A few hours later, Mr. Strzok and his team were back in Mr. Comey’s conference room for a final briefing: Only about 3,000 emails had been potentially work-related. A dozen or so email chains contained classified information, but the F.B.I. had already seen it.
“And agents had found no emails from the BlackBerry server during the crucial period when Mrs. Clinton was at the State Department.
“Nothing had changed what Mr. Comey had said in July.”

Now compare the artificial constraints self-imposed on the investigation: only look at improper storage of confidential information and potential hostile intrusion, only look at emails during Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. 3,000 work-related emails were filtered down to a dozen chains including classified materials.

These constraints would have allowed a friendly investigator to avoid looking for or acting upon evidence of intent from before her tenure, avoid looking for or acting upon evidence of pay to play (or other high crimes and misdemeanors) that did not include storage of confidential information, and avoid looking for or acting upon evidence of intent to destroy evidence after leaving State. The stilted way in which the NYT reported what their source told them leaves open the possibility that there were other bombshells on the Weiner laptop that have not yet surfaced to the public or oversight committees (though the IG’s investigations should be looking into these matters).

Just the mere fact that classified information was found on Weiner’s laptop indicated a felony had been committed. Add to that the fact of his perverse on-line activities makes it likely this information could have been hacked by malevolent outsiders. The entire episode stinks to high heaven.

In summary, they were told what their conclusion would be, given a pizza, and then they signed off on the conclusion.
The self imposed constraints gave them plausible deniability should the truth eventually emerge.

February 25, 2016
Lisa Page: One more thing: she might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi?

Peter Strzok: Agreed.

Notice the fear of retaliation from Hillary Clinton. Think about that for just one moment? Lisa and Peter are high ranking FBI agents. What do they know about the Clinton Klan that would cause that type of consideration about going easy on Hillary?

All the books about her notorious temper and long memory, including the one written by the former head of her SS detail, for starters. Self-preservation & career ambition is a big thing with these two, judging by their texts.

If you can believe this, Trey Gowdy appeared on Tucker last night to say he thought that text meant that they were concerned hill would heap more PRAISE on the DOJ than the FBI. Pretzel interpretation.

Not really far fetched. A billionaire couple in Canada just recently had their supposed murder/suicide changed to a targeted murder. IE a hit. Strangely they were scheduled to testify against the Clinton Foundation regarding pharmaceuticals that were supposed to be delivered to Haiti.

the police rushed the investigation and declared it a murder suicide, now they have changed it to homicide…funny, as i was reading this thread, i was ready to post info about this connection…thanks for including it.

There are other sources online. If you google the names and Clinton Foundation, you can find bloggers who mention the Clinton Foundation but the NYT , Globe and Mail, The Star, do not mention the foundation.

Put yourself in their shoes for just a second. Even the lead investigators, heck, I bet even Comey himself would be intimidated to go into Hillary’s home and question her on this! But, it would be nice if they kept notes of the “interview”. That is more telling than the texts.
Because.. as we are hearing nonstop.. it is a crime to lie to the FBI, you don’t have to be under oath.

yes he knew
he is a part of it, the conspiracy team,
I read another part of messages released by the senator
where Page said you needto talk with …..agent and convince him
on our side our case because Muller couldnt… something like that … but t is there !

He started Jan 2017 and these two were off the investigation come June/July. So they were either discovered and removed or they were monitoring them for awhile first. Late last year the texts were starting to be released to congress. That is why I do not believe any texts were ever missing. The IG probably had them all the time.

But the question also to consider, did the OIG just focus on these two or did he expand it to other members of the SC team. On the theory where there are two bad eggs there could be more. IG report should be interesting.

JW uncovered docs showing #AndrewMcCabe's wife was recruited for a Virginia state senate race by now-Gov. Ralph Northam, that his wife received ~$700,000 in campaign contributions from Clinton allies, & that McCabe used FBI email to promote her candidacy.https://t.co/Fd7VnMfaYZ

$700K to run for a lousy VA state House/Senate seat…I don’t think so..This was surely (and don’t u call me Shirley) a big fat bribe…pocketed at least half a Mil…kinda helps a guy retire early at 49 doesn’t it….gee, grow that in Trump’s economy and you’ll be sitting very pretty.

Gary, I think that you will find that the Q stuff is a hard sell even in her. It seems to appeal to those that have a Geek/Nurd side to their personality – like myself. It helps that I have a computer degree and perhaps just a little bit of “autism”.

Now before anyone gets all up in arms about me using the term autism in this way, it is how they use it on the “chans”. Not only that but I get a pass, my 19 year old son is severely Autisic and still cannot speak conversationally. I know Autism inside and out.

Obama had Clapper, Brennan, Holder then Lynch, Power, Rice, ValJAr, Koskinen, the EPA bimbo….
If you’ve got them, you can do anything and get away with it.
He did and they did.
This is a CIA op and the Brits were used….Strozk was/is CIA, Steel is still MI6….GCHQ, Nellie OHR
is CIA.
This is the REALLY DEEP state.

You all are all very bright and on top of things.
If there is a shadow government does that mean that guys like Brennan and Clapper and Obama still have influence…? Maybe Kerry also..?
They could operate outside the Trump administration..? No wonder Mueller was brought in. I wonder if this is even deeper than we think maybe in different departments also..?
This is frightening and needs to be rooted out. Maybe to much conspiracy on my part.

According to an email released by wiki leaks, or text between Page & Strzok (I just finished listening to Praying Medic go over this) immediately after the inauguration of genius President Trump, 7 people held a ‘secret meeting’ (Q has also spoken of this)

Regardless what you may think of Q – many people who have experience in the intelligence community validate Q as a group, not an individual, of the military intelligence community. Their objective is to get the public informed about the level of corruption piece by piece – or (bread) crumb by crumb. There many Anons online, but the one identified by Q or Qanon is the one being followed.

That DoJ award was 2009, but 2016 finds her on the WH visitor logs taking a meeting on 4/25/16 with James Baker (and some others from FBI and DoJ. At that time she was listed as FBI. From the article linked below, Trisha is connected to Hillary Clinton: “Trisha B. Anderson is in the meeting. She was a rising star in 2009 and also in the email chain of infamy in the FBI Clinton email investigation.”

The White House is preparing to reverse an Obama-era directive to close the military prison in Guantanamo Bay.

On Thursday, a draft of a State Department memo surfaced showing President Trump will keep the prison open for suspected terrorists.

This decision is expected to be announced during the State of the Union next Tuesday.

The move would repeal a 2009 order by President Obama, who was never able to make good on the decision due to push-back from Congress.

The repeal fulfills a long-time promise by the administration, which has taken a tougher approach to its handling of suspected terrorists captured abroad.

“I’m not aware of any change in the administration’s stated use of Guantanamo…the administration is committed to enforcing our terrorism laws and any law that we can against anyone that will present harm or a threat to the United States,” stated Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Ed O’Callaghan.

Over 200 inmates were moved to the custody of foreign countries during the Obama presidency.

There is one name in this room which is not redacted, but is there! It's ERIC HOLDER, who double-teamed this investigation using both LORETTA LYNCH and TRISHA ANDERSON. His GITMO QUEEN spun the befuddled moral compass of the Comey FBI to "extremely careless". pic.twitter.com/Hnj7EoTPu0

“Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman in the Obama administration, said the FBI rarely releases information about ongoing criminal investigations and does not release information about federal investigations this close to political elections.

“Comey’s behavior in this case from the beginning has been designed to protect his reputation for independence no matter the consequences to the public, to people under investigation or to the FBI’s own integrity,” Miller said.

Miller and other former officials pointed to a 2012 Justice Department memo saying that all employees have the responsibility to enforce the law in a “neutral and impartial manner,” which is “particularly important in an election year.”

Miller said he had been involved in cases related to elected officials in which the FBI waited until several days after an election to send subpoenas. “They know that if they even send a subpoena, let alone announce an investigation, that might leak and it might become public and it would unfairly influence the election when voters have no way to interpret the information,” Miller said. <end quote

It is clear that because of this^statement, Page and Strzok were happy about throwing Matt Miller "under the bus" in a new "CF article."

So who or what is CF here? Sounds like either a reporter or news media who is going to "throw Matt under the bus."

BTW, Matt is still alive and tweeting nasty crap against PDJT, so not too likely CF here means Clinton Foundation (no Arkancide) unless the tweet is about an article referring to Clinton foundation. https://mobile.twitter.com/matthewamiller

Again who/what is "CF" in that tweet? Might lead to another reporter who is conspiring.

My troubled sleep last night paid off. It just made no sense that these dunderheads at the top of FBI were making this stuff all work for Cankles. Too much chaos. Where was the really cool MOB stuff I was looking for? But a combination of other people’s posts were the key to REMINDING me that we were AGAIN focusing on the wrong place. The smooth, organized, calculating CONTROL had to be elsewhere. Just like when they rotted out IRS in the Tea Party scandals. FROM DOJ. All this is, is what SD found YEARS ago. It’s the weaponized DOJ. Obama’s rook is where the plot farms out to the befuddled pawns.

Absolutely Wolfmoon. TY for this article, from ABC to boot.
The more we back up, the more pieces continue to be placed.
Wonder what they have on Bob Barr, another one a looooong time ago, I held in high esteem.
I figured Ken Starr sold out long ago.

Some of these people are just fooled, I’m sure. I’m starting to see how that works. The commies are EXPERT in setting distracting fires. But yeah, many are sold out. Hard to tell who’s who. Definitely a mess.

September 2015 – Tricia S. Wellman joined the FBI’s NCTC as the Center’s first Executive Director. Ms. Wellman most recently served as the Deputy Assistant Director of National Intelligence for Policy and Strategy and the IC Information Sharing and Safeguarding Executive.

In those roles, she oversaw the formulation and implementation of IC-wide policy and strategy on a full range of intelligence issues, including collection, analysis, requirements, management and information sharing and she provided overall leadership for ODNI and IC information sharing initiatives.

She handled a range of legal issues facing the ODNI, including litigation, legislation, and Guantanamo Bay detainee issues.

The lovely couple were not following their own worse case “insurance” operation protocols.
They presumed Hillary would be elected so their email paper trail would never see the light of day.
They never saw the hubris of working the insurance but ensuring, by their communication trail, the insurance wouldn’t work if needed. Silly billy’s.
Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make undisciplined.

The CNN coverage that Lisa Page is referring to is when Hillary got sideswiped by the announcement of the FBI investigation, and remember, she was on a plane mid-flight, and they turned off the internet so that the reporters on the plane couldn’t get messages out to the press.

Edward William “Bill” Priestap lives or has lived in a 5 BR $2.8 million Victorian townhouse in Georgetown. Bought January 2013. Owned by ELKA Trust (a REIT?). No indication of a spouse in the records. Peter has his Skeeza, Bruce has his Nellie, and Glenn has his Mary. I went looking for Bill’s femme fatale.

Priestap apparently originally from Michigan, spent part of his FBI career in the Chicago and New York field offices. Promoted by Comey to current position in Dec/Jan 2016, right in time to set the wheels in motion. Now Comey is throwing him under the bus in Congressional testimony.

Update: American Thinker has done the work. Priestap’s wife is Sabina Menschel, “the current head of the D.C. office of Nardello & Co. … the top private-eye firm in the Beltway.”

FWIW:Maggie Haberman attended off the record secret meetings with John Podesta during 2016 election
Maggie Haberman, the left wing New York Times crank who put out a story yesterday that Trump wanted to fire corrupt Robert Mueller back in June of last year isn’t exactly a non-biased reporter using “anonymous sources.” Regardless if you believe the crap spewed by Haberman and New York Times yesterday, you also have to take into consideration that Haberman attended an off the record secret meetings with John Podesta during 2016 election. John Podesta was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager.

Sounds a bit like collusion to me.. Almost like what that snake Rod Rosenstein hired Robert Mueller to investigate. This story that came out last night got the juices flowing at the left wing propaganda cable networks, automatically assuming it was true because Maggie Haberman and the New York Times claimed it happened. Yet, neither Maggie Haberman or the New York Times have ever mentioned her off the record secret meeting with creepy John Podesta during the 2016 campaign. I wonder how many more meetings the two have had since the election.

For those insisting Trump never directed Mueller's firing/McGahn didn't threaten to quit, it's been 17 hours since our story published. McGahn/White House have not denied this report. https://t.co/0FqR2cUjxu

What heinous acts did Pres. Trump commit to deserve all of this attention from the Obama gov’t agencies and dishonorable people that participated in this mass political exercise to discredit, investigate and prosecute an elected President? He ran a political campaign they disagreed with and then did the most heinous act of all to them. He won the election and humiliated their anointed one.

Whatever legal punishment and criminal record awaits these participants, it will be well earned. Using gov’t resources and it’s almost unlimited power to unleash your anger and vengeance on a political opponent is standard procedure in a dictatorship but it is a heinous act in a democracy. I wonder if Mueller is still proud of his ongoing appointed role in this heinous act against an elected POTUS. Any honorable person would be ashamed to have been used as a pawn in this conniving plot.

Speaking about leaks–How did Trump’s confidential comments with attorney-client privilege (possibly fire Mueller) get leaked to the NYT as reported yesterday? This is another sleazy, dishonorable leak. Trump’s concerns about the partisan Mueller team were rational and reasonable.

Mueller should never have been appointed, he is besties with Comney.
He has form in U1.
The reason for “Russia” is that the information that Hilliary illegally manoeuvred Sanders out of contention was suppose to have come from a Russian DNC hack, Assange denies it.
The boy scouts don’t understand the US is continuously interfering politically in Russia any way it sees fit for advantage, likewise Russia here. This country needs desperately to grow up.

South;
The Drudge headline picture of 3 buddies walking together outside the WH was perfect. Mueller, Obama and Comey having a friendly private chat and stroll together. The SC was a political ploy against Trump and despite having numerous choices Rosenstein chooses his pal Mueller. Their insider Club was consistent.

“Remember how strong we are. WE ARE THE STORM. The “bad” guys need to have us unsteady, unsure- they need to weaponize us against one another. They need division. They need discord. They need tumultuous seas within the calm.”

Defenders of Strzok and Page inside the FBI said that because there was no direct supervisory role between Page and Strzok in the workplace, there wasn’t anything professionally wrong about having an affair, but they added that they understood why Mueller would not want anyone engaged in such conduct on his team. For one thing, if a foreign intelligence agency learned of such an affair, they could try to use it as a means of blackmail, although there’s no evidence anyone outside the FBI was aware of the relationship.

Having sex vs having a love affair.
Maybe they were just friends with benefits, neither expecting nor offering any lovey-dovey talk.

Lack of evidence is not evidence either way, especially considering we are not privy to every unredacted text.

Whether they were or were not hanky pankying is entirely beside the point.

Their constant texting betrays a strong liklihood of conspiracy and definite evidence of using their positions to attempt to influence the outcome of a US Election and also leaking to certain reporters.

The texts are not just evidence, they are leads to more evidence.

Their fellow conspirators and protectors can try to use the affair angle all they want, it does not cover their butts on each and every text that is damaging and/or might lead to more discoveries.

Whether they were or weren’t humping, the humping is the shiny shiny thing…
The squirrel. The thing to get our focus off the real crime by focusing on the titillation.

Go beyond it, use what they say and research each pebble in it. Never know what is under the next rock or pebble in the texts. Since we have no press and no FBI investigators that we can trust we just have to dig into it ourselves.

That claim is complete Horse Hockey in my opinion. Having an affair with the positions they had. Every corporate entity has very strict rules about dating depending on level and intermingling of departments, much less an affair, that unknown sources claim was ignored.

These people are involved with sensitive information in their jobs. It happens, yes, though its kept very secret, and others will not know about it, especially if they are committing adultery.

I would believe that high level positions in Govt. handling classified material, would not be flaunting and affair so people would know about it and disregard it. I doubt it would be allowed by HR and regulations.

“The Post repeatedly sought comment from Strzok and Page but got no response.”

But then he referred to co-workers, a friend of Page, a Mueller spokesperson, “people familiar with the issue” blah blah blah. It is a veritable leak fest. To think that Page either turned Devlin onto her friend, or that Devlin already had known her.

Republican efforts to undermine Mueller suggest that they, too, perceive his investigation to be a serious threat. The efforts take several forms: Pro-Trump TV hosts sowing doubt about Mueller’s integrity, lawmakers blasting the FBI, or other Trump allies changing the subject altogether.
They’re all facing down story after story that has revealed Mueller’s methodical, secretive approach. Every day, there’s at least one new revelation about how many people Mueller has interviewed and how much he has learned about the inner workings of Trumpworld.

What did Barrett do wrong? An alternative (and probably accurate) perspective is that Barrett is an industrious national reporter with a long list of sources inside government. Those sources likely include Page and/or Strzok. All perfectly legal.

Anyone who is a lawyer is it illegal as president to share some thoughts even if he thought and verbalized it to someone in the WH if he should firer Mueller…? What law was broken..?
I have to believe this is a new spin to discredit Trump to lay a foundation whatever Mueller wants to nail Trump with. All lies they build a case of lies to take out a president . People think about this and that in America. The KGB and Goebel is alive and well among us. I am truly ticket off.

Their claim of an affair is covering the real story of their sedition. Guarantee—no way they were doing each other!!

In honor of Sundance, and commemorating the start of the Q drops, I’ve composed a little redo of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas…
Ahem.

It was the 5th of November and all through the House,
Lots of creatures were stirring, not just a mouse.
The stock market was hung by Hussein out to dry,
With hopes that HRC would be next to fly🦇
The peeps were all nestled in front of their tubes,
While visions of FakeNews were spun by the “Boobs”.
And mamma in her extensions and me in my jams,
Had just primed our brains for another dumb recap,
When out in the ‘hood there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my futon to see if it was more DACA chatter.
Away to the window I flew like The Flash,
Tore open Pottery Barn curtains and threw up the sash.
The light from the corner street light below,
Gave an LED luster of midday fake snow.
When what to my sleep addled eyes should appear,
But a caravan of black limousines, shining bright like a mirror.
The POTUS directing the group as they came,
I knew in a moment THIS is his call to fame!
More rapid than 5G our Patriots answered his whistle,
And he tweeted, and pointed, and shot down all missiles.
Now ‘Bama! now Comey! now Lynch! Holder too! Oh Peter! Oh Lisa! Don’t forget WitchyPoo!
To the top of our list, to the top of them all,
Now Arrest away! Arrest away! Arrest away ALL!
As trash that before Hurricane Irma spread,
In facing the Law, they all filled with dread.
With courts full of indictments, texts and emails at hand,
The jingle of handcuffs spread throughout the land.
As I stepped back inside and then turned around,
I was not surprised to hear MSM telling lies with no bound.
“He’s racist!” He’s ugly!” “We don’t like his hair!”
—>If it’s truth that you’re after, best look elsewhere!
His attire was no concern to this man we call Prez,
He’s much too busy ridding the swamp of black hatted feds.
Trump’s shoes were nicely polished, his suit dapper wool,
(Read only about his clothes if you are a fool).
An army of good guys he had at his back,
And his countenance grew younger as he went on attack.
His eyes—how they twinkled! His smile so big and wide!
He gave me the hope I had been looking for and I stood straighter with pride.
He was a genius, so stable, so versed in The Art,
And my eyes grew in wonder, while our country grew back its heart.
With wink of his eye and some strokes of his pen,
Smashed crooked policies and EO’s of dumb men.
He tweeted and chatted so all could observe,
The mind and work ethic of a genius at work.
And stepping away from business once again to Tweet,
He looked at the Market—it’s still looking sweet!
He sprang to his limo, to his team gave a listen,
And away they all sped, superheroes onto the next mission.
But I heard him Tweet Tweet, as he drove out of sight—
MAGA for one! MAGA for all! MAGA Bigly Good Night!

AKM on this thread posts: Katica (GOPPoll analyst) points out that on April 13 2016 (day after Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS using DNC money) Robert Mueller met at the White House with Aaron Zebley and Stephanie Osborn, Obama’s Executive Director of the Intelligence Advisory Board. https://twitter.com/GOPPollAnalyst/status/956926058393161728

Out of at least 100,000 licensed attorneys qualified in federal criminal trial procedures, I still cannot come up with a good faith reason for the selection of Robert Mueller as Special Counsel in this matter. The White House visitor log research by Katica shows that Mueller is providing someone in the White House with legal advice at the exact time period in April, 2016 that events are leading up to Admiral Rogers order to suspend “about” quiries in the FISA upstream database.

Addendum to my last comment, which seems to be in the trash bin again. Were Strzok caught and demoted due to leaking, odds are Strzok might have suspected, and as such may have been a wee bit more careful to whom, how, when, and where Strzok leaked. Page may not be as smart, as Page was out of the loop by then. And Strzok’s wife had to have been doing a number on Strzok by this time.
And is every FBI agent w/a teensy bit of knowledge not just dying to be the next DeepThroat, the one who takes down the “whatever” it is they called Pres Trump?

Which puts the odds of this being more Page than Strzok, imo. And Comey, who never knows when to shutup.
Sending to this keep my other comments company in the trash bin. 😉

Based on Strzok and Page’s own admissions in their texts, they need to be prosecuted for every count of their leaking to the Press, which are FELONIES!

Like the US Olympic Gymnastics Team Doctor that sexually assaulted the many young girls in his care, at his sentencing, the Judge gave him 150 years of jail time that were to begin being served after he completes his 60 year sentence for the kiddee-porn convictions he is already serving.

Peter Strzok and his mistress Linda Page, and “Andy” McCabe, and who ever else (Comey?) committed a crime in this “Game of Thrones” saga, need to be imprisoned for multiple lifetimes for what they have done to our Republic and “We the People.”

Having an office affair,
Using burner phones to hide the affair,
Telling your wife, you need to spend time with another women to help Hillary,
Having to leak to the national press as a ‘person close to the investigation’ that your burner phones are not part of an unlawful wiretap conspiracy, but only to hide your office affair – – – – – – Priceless.

“Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end, they will look in triumph at their foes.” Psalm 112:6-8

“It seems to be a strange way to run a department that depends on integrity.”
Anybody that assumes that the FBI and/or Deep State has ever been based upon integrity must be either unbelievably naive or lobotomized.
